Such tragedy

Lost sailors haunt pilot who helped sink "Bismarck"

"John Moffat's sparkling eyes grow dim when he remembers the 2,000 sailors swallowed up by the Atlantic after his torpedo bombers consigned the German battleship Bismarck to its doom nearly 70 years ago."
While the Allies had no choice but to fight a war that was unprovoked, the tragedy of the human cost to war comes through in an article like this. "All these heads bobbing up and down in the huge waves, and not a chance in hell of being saved..."

So tragic...
